Cheers to Jevon Clement from Canada's McMaster University for this album review in their paper, The Silhouette:


"There was a time when it was common for people to dance to rock music. However, in the early '90s the rhythm section took a back seat when Grunge brought distorted guitars up front. That's why last year it was such a breath of fresh air to see the rise of "punk-funk" bands in cities like New York and Los Angeles. Ima Robot, like the Rapture, Hot Hot Heat and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, have arrived to move rock out of the mosh-pit and back onto the dance floor. The band combines punk, disco and Bowie-esque glam into a sound that is both immediately infectious and accessible.

Bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen and drummer Joey Waronker have apparently learned a great deal while playing in Beck's backup band as evidenced by the band's effortless genre-hopping. Ima Robot are yet another cannon in the punk-funk arsenal waging a war against brainless, boring jock-rock." [Virgin]
